As some of you all may know, I am a proponent of shaving the recipient area and then packing it with good donor hair. While that is often "camouflagable" at least in part, sometimes people endure a few months of looking fairly different.
Shown is a fellow we did at the very end of October. He had longish hair that was very sparse up front. We packed in 2500 grafts up front and went back his partline. One week pics are also shown. He stopped in Sunday, as he lives out of state and had a quick scar check. Other than extruding two deep dissolvable sutures, he looks great. Being asian, he has a bit higher scar risk than caucasions, therefore I was pleased to make sure things were and are going ok. A review of his hairline suggests that a some grafts didn't extrude or maybe he has a bit of growth. Hard to tell. Hopefully he'll stop in in a few months for more pics.
I am posting this mainly to show folks who have similar hairstyle issues, what things may look like postop before growth starts.
